Studio Wessels Boer - Studio Wessels Boer the public area is constructed in such a uniform and neutral way that there is little room for personal and visually engaging details Hanging laundry garden gnomes and flower planters have disappeared Formally individualized streets are becoming transit zones and even public squares are no longer places to spend time Because of this lack of welcoming moving and revealing characteristics places become anonymous and make you feel lonely This absence is a starting point in my work I want to animate public places with objects or interventions that welcome you keep you company and make you feel at home I like to make the public sphere more personal and intimate and reconnect physical places to people and people to people Places have hidden needs and desires which I like to discover and fulfill After many years of product and furniture design the public space is like coming home I no longer design loose objects rather I let the object become part of and enhance a place That s why I often integrate my work into architecture or infrastructure like the shadow floor street carpet or double glazing Public work requires interaction with the audience and this discussion forms my work
